CBRE Investment Management has appointed Catriona Buckley as a senior director in the client solutions team.
Based in London, she will be responsible for ensuring client engagement across UK & Irish investors, including local government pension schemes, defined contribution platforms, consultants and multi-managers.
Buckley has over 15 years of experience and joins from Gresham House, a specialist alternative asset manager, where she was responsible for consultant relations as well as direct institutional sales to defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes and multi managers.
In her role, Buckley supported capital-raising objectives across real estate, sustainable infrastructure, forestry and other real assets programs.
Prior to this, Buckley worked at Fidelity International, a global financial services company, where she was responsible for UK consultant relations with a particular focus on the firm’s real estate, credit and fixed income capabilities.
She started her career at Allied Irish Banks, where she was part of the team responsible for managing credit securities.
In partnership with CBRE IM’s wider client solutions organisation, Buckley will work closely with each of CBRE IM’s investment lines – across direct real estate, indirect real estate, listed real assets and private infrastructure – to help deliver real assets solutions for clients and help drive CBRE IM’s capital raise efforts in the UK & Ireland.
Chris Wood, EMEA head of client solutions officers at CBRE IM, said: 'It’s great to have Catriona as part of the CBRE Investment Management team. She brings to the role an acute understanding of the objectives and considerations as well as proven expertise in helping to design client solutions across real assets categories and various execution formats.
'Her energy, experience and leadership skills will be critical as we continue to deliver innovative real assets solutions for clients in the UK and Ireland.'
